I haven't seen him in a few weeks, though.<BR/><BR/>Dianne,<BR/>She used to film in Gordon Elliot's kitchen, but now she and Michael have built a very fine home and she films from her own, equally-as-nice kitchen.<BR/><BR/>Sue, I have seen Robin Miller once or twice, but I have not gotten hooked yet.<BR/><BR/>Hi Joy, It's OK to like Paula. I am sure millions still do, that is why she is crammed down our throats so much. FoodTV is getting all the mileage they can out of the poor lady before everyone feels like I do or she keels over from exhaustion.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sissy, you actually used the word I wanted to, but thought I would be nicer (grin) - but since you said it first, I guess I can concur - crude. That is exactly what I see coming out in PD.<BR/><BR/>Tammy, I feel sure you are a very well mannered southern girl!

After being born and raised in the south...I can tell you,some of us from the South know our manners and Momma raised us right, what you see is what you get with us. I guess you would call it Southern Integrity...sorry but I had to take up for myself and my stand-up Southern Sisters....<BR/>I hear you on all points...and agree on most...shows are lot better till they get popular then they try to mess with it...I've always heard "if it ain't broke don't fix it" maybe the Food Network needs to remember that.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11343953446581027685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1153861484310794132006-07-25T17:04:00.000-04:002006-07-25T17:04:00.000-04:00Give me Curtis Stone anyday!Give me Curtis Stone anyday!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901064145483995261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1153850563215007092006-07-25T14:02:00.000-04:002006-07-25T14:02:00.000-04:00Sorry to be the spoiled sport here, but I still li...Sorry to be the spoiled sport here, but I still like Paula. I've used more of her recipes than any other foodnetwork show's. It's definitely not every day food, more the kind of food you treat yourself with once in a great while. I don't even consider what Sandra Dee does is cooking - just combining prepared foods.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07858463547380659469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1153842068599870912006-07-25T11:41:00.000-04:002006-07-25T11:41:00.000-04:00I'm glad you wrote this Zoey!

I won't even go there...<BR/>Lately I've been watching Robin Miller's Quick Fix Meals.

How about how skinny Sandra and Giada(spelling) are! You know what they are doing after their respective shows are over!Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00335147609261707774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1153841949631149932006-07-25T11:39:00.000-04:002006-07-25T11:39:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00335147609261707774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-1153835727288862182006-07-25T09:55:00.000-04:002006-07-25T09:55:00.000-04:00Zoey,The thing about Sandra Dee is this: it is the...Zoey,<BR/>The thing about Sandra Dee is this: it is the only cooking show the boys in this house will watch. They especially likes it if she has to stir something by hand. Her whole body "really gets into it", if you know what I mean. <BR/>Rachel Ray has annoyed me since day #1. She never speaks into the camera, she shouts at it. After about three minutes, I have such a headache!! After spending ten years in the south, I can tell you that Paula Deen exemplifies what it is to be Southern. On the top, it's sweet and cute, but once you get in there, it's rude and crude and the sweetness is just a joke, kinda something southerners do because it's expected. <BR/>I never knew the bitterness I must feel about the Food Network until I read over this comment!!

Sure does sound silly, though, the way they're making her match her clothes to the props...also, changing the kitchen decor is just plain stupid. Gosh, I've baked and cooked in my nightie if it's early morning...wonder if they want to make a show about me? lolCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.com
